Welcome to my collection of American Top 40
syndicated radio shows featuring Casey Kasem.
My collection is definitely incomplete, as the local market had gaps,
in that over the years at least four radio stations had the contract to air
the shows.
I collected as many of the actual LPs from the stations as possible.
Sometimes I was only able to borrow the LPs.
In that situation, I recorded the show onto reel-to-reel tape,
which have all been transferred to WAV files.

Most of the LP boxes have the cue sheets.
Sometimes the board operator wrote on the cue sheets.
So, not all cue sheets are clean.

AT40 LP Box Covers of the 1970s

First LP cover design in my collection.
Design used when first shipment of LPs started.
Previously shipped on 10.5" reel-to-reel tapes.

741-11/05/74

They finally went to an all white box using
the same cover design.

742-44/27/74

The same basic design was kept,
but now they added the border.

794-1112/08/79

Major redesign.
Now the LP box is a solid blue with new artwork.

802-126/21/80

They needed to add the Watermark logo.

NOTE: Thanks to Pete Battistini for looking in his collection to
fill in the gaps as to when cover designs potentially started.
It is possible that a change in design started shipping before the
time frames indicated above, as stock was also being depleted and it was the
luck of the draw as to which one we ended up within our collections.
For example, Pete has in his collection both a white box and blue box for
show 794-11.
